THE BALL SEASON.
The man at the bat stood up,
For the base-ball season was ripe;
And he sighted the ball the pitcher sent in
And he hit it a terrible swipe.
The ball went whizzing down
The field from that terrible whack,
And it bored its way through the short-stop's hands
And knocked him flat on his back.
And the crowd sent up a howl,
And the players set up a shout,
And the pretty girl in the grandstand asked,
"Does that put the umpire out?"
"Does that put the umpire out?" —Ex.
In Honor of the Nebraska Boys.
Last Monday evening the student tendered the ball players of the University of Nebraska an informa reception in the Beta hall. Music was furnished by the University mandolin club, and Dan Crew and several others pleasingly entertained the company with college songs. Refreshments, suitable to the occasion, were furnished during the evening, while witty facetious speeches were made by the visitors and their hosts. Never did the spirit of goodfellowship more pervade a body of students, and in consequence, an exceedingly pleasant and jolly time was had by every one. The meeting did not break up until a late hour, and then, as the guests departed, it was not without expressing the hope that at an early date a return game might be arranged, when they would have the pleasure of returning the evening favors.
An Excellent Opportunity.
Mrs. E. B. Topham of this city has been given the exclusive control of the sale of Rand, McNally & Company's Universal Atlas in Douglas, Shawnee, Leavenworth, Cloud, Wyandotte and Johnson counties, and will be able to furnish lucrative employment to a few energetic students in canvassing for the work. The high repute of the Atlas renders it a very available selling work. Col. O. E. Learnard and Chancellor F. H. Snow own copies of the Atlas and have expressed their high appreciation of it. The Chancellor's copy is in every-day use in his office, and as he himself expresses "could not well be spared." County Superintendent Peairs and Mr. Coonrod, president of the Lawrence Business college, recommend the work in the strongest terms. A better book for student canvassors cannot be found.
Students wishing to know terms, ete., should apply to Mrs. E. B. Topham, 945 Rhode Island street.

Why the Intelligent Dog Abstained From
"I understand," said a seedy looking man to a neighbor, "that your dog is a great thief, that he goes forth dally and steals a chicken from a neighbor for your table."
Mutton.
"I wouldn't keep such a doo as that."
"It is not so," replied the other in rather an offended tone, "but he sometimes steals a bit of beef from me."
"Well," said the owner of the dog, "every man seems to know his neighbor's business best. But I am going to keep and cherish that dog, if he does occasionally jump on the stove and eat the veal outlets while they are frizzling in the pan."
"Does your dog do that?" asked the seedy individual, smoking his lips at the, to him, magic words of veal cuttlets.
"He does that," replied the owner,
"and sometimes he opens the oven door with his paw and eats a roasting duck."
"And still you like the dog."
"Indeed I do," replied the owner, "he is a great treasure, and is invaluable to me in my new business."
"What's that?"
"Don't you know, that I have just opened a mutton store?" asked the owner of the dog.
"No; it was news to me. But the best advice I can give you is to keep your mutton on the ceiling and you dog chained in the cellar at home Now, how can such a dog be of value to you in a mutton store? Will he go out and bring in a customer by the trousers seat?"
"No, he will not do that," responds the owner, with a smile. "You know he will never touch mutton or lamb." Is it that?" asked the seedy mar with an airy grin.
"Because," replied the owner, with the air of a philosopher, "when I started in the mutton business 1 made up my mind that I must have a dog that could watch the store in my absence; so I got a shepherd dog—one that was brought up and trained to protect mutton, and this animal would no more think of touching a lamb chop than he would of running under a flying railroad train. When he looks upon a leg of mutton it is with the loving glance a mother bestows on her only baby, and he will lie in the shop all day if necessary, and regard the legs and shoulders of lamb like so many living specimens capering gracefully on the hills of twinkling emerald." —Detroit Free Press.
Study of a Soap Bubble.
The iridesences of the common soap bubble, subjected to scientific analysis, have emerged in the conclusion that stellar space is a plenum filled with material substance capable of transmitting motion with a rapidity which would girdle the equatorial earth eight times in a second, while the tremors of this substance, in one form, constitute what we call light, and in all forms constitute what we call radiant heat. Not seeing this connection between great and small, not discerning that as regards the illustration of physical principles there is no great and no small, the wits, considering the small contemptible, permit sarcasm to flow.—John Tyndall.
Chancellor's Reception.
The seniors of all departments were tendered a reception by Chancellor Snow last Friday evening. The elegant rooms in the second story of Snow hall were tastily decorated and furnished for the occasion. The chancellor was assisted in receiving by his daughters. The company was a brilliant one. Music lent its charm. Refreshments were served during the evening. Among the pleasures of school life,the members of the class of '92 will cherish this as one of their pleasantest memories.
